It’s not that Marco Rubio reneged; it’s that he did a lousy job in Senate

The fact that Marco Rubio reneged on a vow not to run for re-election to the United States Senate isn’t that big of a deal. Politicians change their minds all the time.
That fact that he has done a spectacularly lousy job since Floridians sent him to the Senate in 2010 is a much bigger deal, a piece of reality Marco apologists choose to ignore. And then there is this: A part of his motivation to return to a job he has loudly and often said he loathes was some sort of epiphany after the Orlando massacre June 12.

Lest we forget, the Orlando shooting was a hate crime specifically targeted against gays, and {Rubio} has fought against marriage equality and gay parenting. He was against legislation banning workplace discrimination against gays. He advocates appointing Supreme Court justices that will roll back many of the advances made by the LGBT community.
Even giving Rubio the benefit of the doubt on all that as he seeks a second term, the biggest question is whether he would even show up for work. Rubio’s consistently poor voting was a key point that Donald Trump repeatedly hammered during the presidential campaign en route to a nearly 19-point victory in Florida.
